How big was Live Aid? How about 70,000 people in London and 100,000 people in Philadelphia big? How about big enough for Led Zeppelin to re-form? How about big enough that Mick Jagger performed and didn't even headline? How about big enough for Ozzy to re-join Black Sabbath? How big is that? Live Aid was a global jukebox where U2 and Madonna could rub shoulders with The Beach Boys and The Four Tops. Where Judas Priest could go on directly after Crosby, Stills, & Nash and Run DMC and Dire Straits could play on the same stage. Where 80's one-hit wonders like Billy Ocean and Rick Springfield could share the stage with Keith Richards and Tina Turner. Simply put, it was where musicians could put aside their egos and play for the enjoyment and the betterment of others.
Our students perform the music of these great acts, and in the spirit of the original concert, a portion of our summer concert proceeds will go benefit www.musicforrelief.org .
